Today's Everyday Fashion: This Dress Is Too Big

I didn’t realize this dress was too big until we snapped photos. Too small is easy - things pull, or scrunch up. But too big? That can be harder to detect. In this case, it’s mostly the bust area. Even with adjustable straps and a tie waist I can see now that the fabric is drooping around the bust, and the v-neck is too low-cut. Thankfully, it’s still in stock, so I ordered a size smaller to try. Because I’m loving these colorful stripes and all the possibilities for pairing - like a brown or gray moto jacket, denim jacket, or ankle boots!
